Roboz Organizational ScissorsAs precision instruments in laboratories and surgeries, their correct use and standardized operation are crucial for the accuracy of experimental results and surgical safety. The following provides a detailed explanation from four aspects: preparation before use, operation steps, precautions, and maintenance.
1、 Preparation before use
Cleaning and disinfection
Thoroughly clean and disinfect the tissue scissors before use to ensure sterility and prevent cross contamination.
High temperature and high pressure sterilization or chemical disinfectant soaking can be used, and the specific method needs to be executed according to the standard operating procedures of the laboratory or operating room.
Check the status of the equipment
Check if the blade of the scissors is intact, without any gaps or curled edges.
Confirm that the handle is securely connected without any looseness or damage.
2、 Operation steps
Correct cutting posture
The thumb and ring finger are respectively fastened into the two rings of the scissor handle, the middle finger is placed on the scissor handle of the ring finger, and the index finger is pressed on the joint to provide stability and guidance.
Avoid fastening the middle finger into the handle ring to ensure stability of the movement.
Cutting operation
Cut selection:
The large cutting mouth is used to cut open preliminary tissue samples.
The small cutting mouth is used for fine operations, such as extracting tissues containing cells of interest.
Shear force control:
Gently compress the handle to close the blade of the scissors.
Place the blade of the scissors on the tissue that needs to be cut, gently apply force to cut, and avoid excessive force causing tissue damage or cell stretching.
Cutting direction adjustment:
By rotating the cutting edge to the desired angle to change the cutting direction, it ensures operational flexibility and accuracy.
3、 Precautions
Avoid cross use
Do not use tissue scissors instead of thread scissors or other instruments to avoid damaging the blade and shortening its service life.
Operation force control
Excessive force may cause damage to tissues or organs, affecting experimental results or surgical outcomes.
Prevent damage to equipment
When using, do not place scissors with other hard objects or utensils to avoid damage to the scissors.
Operating environment requirements
Shallow surgical procedures usually use straight scissors, while deep surgical procedures use curved scissors to ensure surgical visibility and safety.
4、 Maintenance and upkeep
Clean and disinfect after use
After cutting, promptly wipe the surface of the scissors with sterile cloth or cotton balls and 70% ethanol solution to ensure it is dry.
Avoid using tissue scissors again before cleaning and disinfecting to reduce contamination and cross infection.
Proper storage
Curl the blade of the scissors into a U-shape to prevent damage.
Store in a well ventilated and dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent rusting or damage.
regular maintenance
Regularly check if the blade of the scissors is intact, and replace it promptly if it is damaged.
Lubricate and maintain the scissors to ensure their flexibility and service life.
